Illicit substances can make people act irrationally, and many drug addicts were pressured into an addiction starting from a young age, when they were more impressionable. Peer pressure is terrible and can negatively affect a person in a variety of different ways. The problem with an addiction is that once your body becomes accustomed to the substance, it can be very difficult to stop because of psychological and physiological symptoms pertaining to withdrawal.

Over time, they require higher and higher doses and unfortunately many of them do end up inadvertently overdosing. I have compassion for these people because they are the victims of peer pressure, abuse, stress, and addiction. It is a tragedy. I think that a lot more could be done to help them.

I draw angels mostly, but I do draw fanart from time to time as well! I've uploaded progress pictures, timelapses, and files associated with my work, too!

If during the day, I'll call someone on my mobile, do work out in the garden/yard, or read. If during the night, I'll browse the internet on my phone, play on my Nintendo Switch, or go to sleep if it's already late. I have many sources of backup lighting in the house including a couple dynamo powered torches that you wind up.

Trying to draw using vector programs such as Illustrator. Prior to settling on my beloved (Paint Tool SAI) I tried to use Illustrator, and despite the benefit of being able to blow up a drawing without losing quality, it just never sat right with me and always felt awkward.

I am female, so I guess I don't. As for my age and location, that's classified

This photo has existed on the internet long before generative AI could make such images, though.

Why and how would it be fake? I just went and looked on the Holocaust Encyclopedia and found many photos of that nature, photos which I won't link or post here because they're graphic.

But Dachau was not an extermination camp like Treblinka, Sobibor, Majdanec and Chelmo.

Why do you think that this is evidence that the photo was forged? The conditions in Dachau were terrible, they could've easily died of malnutrition, disease and abuse.

Beyond friends and family - Keanu Reeves, Bob Ross, and David Attenborough!

😂 It's the adult form of my biblically accurate angel OC, Goodie! He's not a bad guy, just a tad mischievous... here's an old drawing I did of his larval form! 😃 Full resolution drawing here Progress pictures here

Hehe, thank you! 😃

I draw! 😊

How much I've improved with my art.

I interpret it as being analogous to "oh wow". Some people will say "oh boy" in place of "oh wow", kind of similar to how my friends will say "I know right" but I and some other people will instead say "I know eh".

The fact that such hateful people still exist in the world is staggering. Anne Frank was only 15 years old when she died, so not only are they being incredibly racist, they're also mocking the death of an innocent child. We only get to live on this planet for a short time, so why can't we just love eachother?

Digital 2D art drawn in Paint Tool SAI 1! I've been using that program for as long as I've been drawing digitally and honestly wouldn't settle for anything else. I don't typically draw everyday, only when I'm in the mood for it. To get ideas I'll try doing random rough sketches and see what I vibe with, othertimes I can get inspired by movies, videogames or anime!

Original? ✅ Plausible? ✅ Photographic evidence? ✅ Adorable? ✅✅✅

During the Winter months, I mostly just wear the same pajamas I do during the Summer. I tolerate the cold way better than I tolerate anything at 20°C and above. It's also a great time of the year for soups, stews, and hot chocolate! ☕

"Hate" is a strong word, but I very much dislike it when a website that I can access on my computer only allows phone users to actually use it, or when certain features of a website are hidden for desktop users but available for phone users, such as Instagram Stories. I just don't agree with desktop/laptop users being restricted or offered the barebones version of a website considering that the internet has existed long before smartphones were a thing.

Bring it on.

Lemmy, because I like the community, the way you can post things, and the interface.

Tumblr, for posting art

Newgrounds, both for posting art and also for posting on the BBS about videogame and art related topics!

I don't really count Discord as a public social media platform in my case, since I only use it to directly message close friends of mine and I never do anything else with it. When I say "social media" I'm typically referring to public platforms like the ones listed above, rather than an app I use to privately message friends.
